Do you have your monitor set to its native resolution? My 22" monitor is set to 1680 x 1050 and the picture in Haunting at Cliffhouse fills the screen except for 2 narrow black bars on the left and right sides.

Right click anywhere on the desktop and select Screen Resolution and see what it says there.

In your game directory (mine's at C:/Program files(x86)/ Haunting at Cliffhouse) there should be a winsetup application- make sure you run it as admin by right clicking on it, then there should be a box for running in a window (make sure it's unchecked), and a box for side borders on widescreen monitors(also make sure it's unchecked). Good luck.

Wow Starcomm- I must have been typing the same time you were.

Louisiana Adventure- this is different- I bought the game through Zodiak, so I had to start Zodiak, then start the game, which then had a configuration screen come up and you can designate the resolution that you want to run the game- in my case it was 1440 X 900 which is compatible with my widescreen monitor.

I have and played the game Haunting at Cliffhouse and if you wish to play in Full Screen and/or get rid of the black sidebars:

Go to where your Game Folder was installed ex: in my case I installed it to C:\Games\Haunting at Cliffhouse, click on the Folder and to the right side find the file called winsetup.exe, double-click on this file and it will open up a Set Up screen, on the right side you will see a box called "Side borders on widescreen monitors" Remove the Checkmark and click on Save at the bottom of that setup screen and you should be good to go.

Did you try what Ewil02 suggested? Because it does sound like you are running in a "windowed" mode.

In your game directory (mine's at C:/Program files(x86)/ Haunting at Cliffhouse) there should be a winsetup application- make sure you run it as admin by right clicking on it, then there should be a box for running in a window (make sure it's unchecked), and a box for side borders on widescreen monitors(also make sure it's unchecked).

Could this be the problem?I don't know enough about laptop settings (the M15x is a laptop, right?) to know if this is similar to scaling on a monitor. Anyone else who's more familiar with laptops know?
